I sometimes worry that time will forget him

A person dressed in a full black bodysuit with a carved jack-o’-lantern on their head stands in a graveyard setting, posing with their arms raised above their head in a triangle shape. The background shows tombstones, bare trees, and a foggy sky. Text in the lower right corner reads “CW KXVO 15 KXVO.COM.”

Sacrifice Theory is a pulpy, dark t!m/m romance and it's FREEEEE

Anders is a vampire who can't resist meddling in human sex worker Jason's life when he sees how Jason is treated. Their intimacy grows through mutual respect and a desire for righteous bloodshed.

Anime styled graffiti art on a train car depicting a male demon looking seductively at another man while saying "That's a good boy", with the phrase "kiss yr homies goodnight" in the bottom left corner.

A good editor is a fucking magician who will find ways to elevate your voice in ways that you never previously thought possible.

(Hire @subvertebra.bsky.social )

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Apparently its lesbian day? I love lesbians, they're amazing. I kinda am one (gender and sexuality are complicated, anyway). Want to read about some lesbian vampires? Catch up on Bloodbound before part four comes out!

have been desperately looking for this old erotic Spanish comic I stumbled on almost 10 years ago called "El secreto de Frankenstein" and I'm so happy to report I finally found it

black & white comic panel depicting a sexy, thicc Frankenstein's monster disrobing in 3 different poses - pulling his shirt of his shoulder, seen at an angle; from the front, shirtless, beginning to take his pants off; then almost totally nude as seen from behind. the words at the top read "Strip-tease de Frankenstein..."

The real fantasy in my fiction is that the trans guys can afford top surgery while working as a barista.

Yeah, I agree. I would actually love MORE immigrant horror. Definitely more queer horror. How many mainstream queer horror movies are there in recent years? I think zero, other than maybe the Hellblazer remake which had a trans woman as Pinhead. There's a few indies but that's it.

Akiva Lee, zine fiend @akivaleewrites.bsky.social · 3d

There's an argument to be made that some horror is performative in its message (the Black Christmas remake comes to mind) but y'all.... saying there are too many immigrant stories in horror movies... are you fucking hearing yourself right now?

Just saw a moot on tumblr reblog a post about how horror is too "woke" and not scary enough in the current era and let me stop you right there fellow white person saying immigrant and queer stories are a overdone in horror.

Did you know you can also get Sacrifice Theory as a zine if you want to directly support a trans pervert and enjoy some physical media?
